There’s nothing more exciting for St. John’s thriving visual arts community than this. The 12th annual Art Marathon Festival, which runs Aug. 14-21, will unfold this year in its biggest incarnation yet.

If you manage to catch your breath after having it taken away by the scenery around Newfoundland and Labrador, you can spend your time enjoying some of the local cuisine across the province. Get ready to dig in, and bring your appetite.

Here in NL, we're proud to lay claim to a deep storytelling culture, and on Tuesday, the St. John's Storytelling Festival officially kicked off. The festival is running for 8 days, so you still have time to hear (and maybe tell) a few tales.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are known worldwide for their hospitality. Making your own way to (and through) Newfoundland and Labrador is sometimes exactly what’s called for, but if you’re interested in travelling here without having to worry about the details, there are many package tour operators that take care of arrangements for you.

CapeRace Cultural Adventures and Ocean Quest Adventures are just two of many tour operators that let you truly experience and explore the majestic beauty of our province, our rich culture and heritage and, maybe even, our ocean floors.
